Welcome to the virtual October user group meetup run over Teams!

This time we're welcoming back Jeroen (Jay) ter Heerdt of Microsoft - the man that brought us visual calculations. His team had another couple of ideas, and they are going to change everything in semantic modeling.

In his own words: September brought two major new features to DAX: User Defined Functions and Calendar-based time-intelligence. Join this session to learn all about them and discover why experts say "semantic modeling will never be the same again".

You do not want to miss this!

It's time for the October meetup of the Swedish Power BI User Group! It is another online Teams meeting, and this time we are boasting not only one but two speakers. The first is Will Thompson, a product manager at Microsoft, currently owning the Fabric Data Activator product (which is still in private preview). This tool promises to give amazing capabilities to Power BI, and few people have more insight and experience of this product than Will. Here is some of the information available around it (it has been fairly hush-hush so far): https://blog.fabric.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/driving-actions-from-your-data-with-data-activator/

Then we will be treated to a look at Aimplan, a tool for handling amazingly easy to use writeback and forecasting in Power BI. Who better to show us the ropes than Erik Lidman, one of the creators behind the product. He wants to show the product and get ideas and feedback for future development, and I'm sure this community will be happy to provide!

We're starting at 1900 hours sharp as we're not trying to get people through the door, so the timeline looks like this:

1900-1915 - intro and setting the stage 1915-2015(-ish) - Will Thompson and Data Activator 2015-2045-ish - Erik Lidman and Aimplan

See you there!
